THE LORD'S SUPPER

Blest Be the Tie That Binds

(DENNIS. S. M.)

John Fawcett, 1772

Arranged from Hans G. Nägeli By Lowell Mason, 1845

1. Blest be the tie that binds
   Our hearts in Christan love:
   The fellowship of kindred minds
   Is like to that above
   
2. Be - fore our Father's throne
   We pour our ardent prayers;
   Our fears, our hopes, our aims, are one,
   Our comforts and our cares.
   
3. We share our mutal woes;
   Our mutual burdens bear;
   And often for each other flows
   The sympathizing tear.
   
4. When we asunder part,
   It gives us inward pain;
   But we shall still be joined in heart
   And hope to meet again.
   
5. From sorrow toil, and pain,
   And sin, we shall be free,
   And perfect love and friendship reign
   Thro' all eternity. Amen

Bread of the World

(EUCHARIST. 9,8,9,8)

Reginald Heber, 1826

John S. B. Hodges, 1869

1. Bread of the world, in mercy broken
   Wine of the the soul in mercy shed,
   By whom the words of lie were spoken,
   And in whose death are sins are dead;
   
2. Look on the heart by sorrow broken,
   Look on the tears by sinners shed.
   And be thy feast to us the token
   That by thy grace our souls are fed.
   Amen
